Be courageous!

A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. William Shedd

This is one of my favourite quotes.

On holiday recently I took this picture which made me think about leaders and comfort zones.

Leaders today need to have courage, to be courageous – more than ever before.

With so much change around us we need to leave the harbour walls and move out in new directions, trying methods we haven’t tried before – even if it is not our within our expertise. This is what takes courage, not being afraid to say ” I don’t know ” or “I am not sure”!

Leaders could for example ask others for help more often. Asking for help seems to be one of the greatest fears, locking us into our comfort zones.
